More Election News

Kerry Slammed for poor Hispanic outreach. I second that, the Democratic party has not been effective in running enough tailored media to the Latino community. I thought Gore did an incredibly poor job and Kerry was only slightly better as shown by the increase in Bush support and the lack of Democratic ads.

In-depth analysis of Florida electronic voting finds Bush with huge, statistically unlikely, increase after accounting for all other factors. He gets this increase only in e-vote areas.

Scalia: 'Get over it!' Speaking at the University of Michigan the Supreme Court Justice draws protests and boos when he scolds a questioner asking about the 2000 Florida election decision.

Checking in with Undecided Voters - Stupid in Decidedly Different Interesting Ways

The Daily Howler provides a well-deserved smackdown to Anne Applebaum of the Washington Post,
who, in a column yesterday, argued that there's nothing wrong with our voting process and it's silly that everyone's worried about it.

In other news, reporters are getting very frank about the closeness between Bush and Miss Rice. Or is this reporting very coy?

After a self-proclaimed mandate and control over all branches of government will right-wing talk turn on their own? Early hint:
Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida who now hosts MSNBC's nightly "Scarborough Country," says the challenge for conservative hosts will be to prove "that we're more than just the Pravda of the right." He adds, "I think that's going to be difficult for some people. I honestly don't know what Sean Hannity is going to be able to talk about. If you've been reading off the Republican National Committee's talking points like he has for the past four years, it's going to be hard to be critical of the status quo."
Scarborough now claims he was misquoted:
"I would not tell a reporter that 'Sean Hannity has been reading off of RNC talking points for the past four years' even if I were on heroin."
